  1. I may be tempted to sell my car:

    Full Superlight R spec, carbon-fibre wings, nosecone and dashboard.

    Dry sumped

    Uprated suspension

    FIA roll bar with petty strut.

    Tillet R500 seats.

    Split rims with ACB10s.

    Adjustable brake bias and uprated brakes.

    Choice of full weather gear or black aeroscreen.

    Spare nose, scuttle and wings.

    Painted Trinity Blue with bare carbon nosecone, arches and wings.

     

    10,000 miles with full history, MOT and tax.

     

    £21,995 or may part exchange R500 or Blackbird.

  2. I have a 1998 wide track car with adjustable platforms. The previous (front) springs were the standard ones, and had a free length of about 7.5". I bought some 300lb springs from Caterham (possibly a bit stiff, but I'll give them a go), and these have a free length of almost 9".

     

    Caterham say this is correct (no other length is available), but I can't get the ride height correct, it is FAR too high. I've searched on various posts about moving the circlip up the damper. Is this what I need to do? It looks like there is only one groove on the damper body - the other side of the Bilstein sticker - is this where I need to move it to? Or am I looking in completely the wrong place?

     

    Thanks for your help.

  3. Thanks to everyone for the interest.

     

    I'm not around at the moment so won't be phoning anyone for a day or two. I'll have a photo by then so I'll email that too.

     

    I'm in Maidenhead, Berks.

  4. Due to a planned house move I need to sell my trailer.

     

    It is single axle with a manual winch and space for jerry can and 4 spare wheels.

    Total length is about 4.5m, total width is about 2.15m. Both tyres were replaced last summer.

     

    Ideal for Caterham, tows well.

     

    I'm looking for about £400.

     

    Thanks.

  5. Describe the S-type seats to me.....

    These are comfy leather things on runners with a removable seat section and removable headrest. I believe they are S-type.

     

    I am hoping for £300. I have had a message from Lawrence in Newcastle already, no firm offer as yet though, although I'll give him first refusal.

     

    I'm not around much over the next day or two so it would help if you could leave messages here rather than email.

     

    Thanks.

  6. My SLR had a knackered 7" Caterham race silencer with 4-2-1 manifold and no catalyst. I bought a SBD silencer off a friend, and fitted this today, but now the car won't idle, hot or cold. Everything else is standard.

     

    Will it 'learn' the new exhaust, or is the only option to get an Emerald ECU and a re-map? I'd rather not do this immediately if I can help it. Is there anyway to force the ECU to re-map to base settings, or am I stuffed?

     

    On the positive side, it is far quieter now.....

  7. Be very careful about using an outdoor cover indoors - most of them rely on air circulation under the cover, and carry warnings about paint damage if you choose to use it indoors.
